| Research Abstract |
This research project dealt with the infringement of foreign firms' trademarks by Chinese merchants since the 1890s, and how it influenced the first Chinese trademark law in 1923. The Chinese merchants manufactured imitation goods of popular imported goods by themselves or committed this task to Japanese manufactures in Osaka and Kobe. After 1915 when the unti-Japanese goods boycott movement prevailed, some Japanese intended to manufacture Western imitation goods and exports them through Chinese merchants. Due to the increase of Japanese made Western imitation goods, the Japanese and the British governments could not cooperate with each other to force the Chinese government to prohibit the infringement of their firms' trademarks by the Chinese. This was the genuine background in which the Chinese government succeeded in promulgating its own trademark law in 1923.
